[Regulatory Content]

- If the annual number of outpatient visits exceeds 365, the beneficiary will be required to pay 30% of the total medical care costs for outpatient visits.

Exemptions apply to children, pregnant women, special treatment beneficiaries, and individuals with severe disabilities.

1. Reason for Amendment
The purpose of this amendment is to expand the medical care utilization options for beneficiaries by eliminating regulatory management systems such as the current benefit limit on days of care, extension approval, and the selective medical care provider system. Additionally, it aims to strengthen the responsibility of the state and local governments in managing appropriate benefit days and introduce a differential co-payment when the annual number of outpatient visits exceeds 365.
